Hows the ride? I got a set of cut front springs here I got from Hilton but have never used them. I offered them for free a while back and nobody wanted them.

It actually doesn't ride that bad to me, it rides kind of like my old silver car with just lowering springs. I've never cut coil springs before so I just kinda experimented lol.

OK so I got a forged stroker crank and rods, just have to pull them out a motor, and have them checked out. So tomorrow me and wade are gonna pull them and my motor and take them to pts and have them checked out and have him order pistons and rings depending on if my block is good and if it will need a .005 or .030 bore/hone. Should know more tomorrow!!

I heard he loves how hard it pulls now. Just sucks he's having some clutch/tranny issues now. Can't wait to see the times that vette pulls at the track now.

Brett, I'm game but tires will be a must. As for Joshes vette, I could rip him out the hole on motor pretty hard before. Now that he has tires and you done some tuning I had to spray on him. First run was his by about 2 cars. 2nd race I sprayed out the hole and pulled pretty good but he broke shortly after. As for my truck, I love it. Daily driven beater that gets over 20 mph, runs 11s on motor, and I never have to work on it. I couldn't ask for anything more.
